A main theme running through this book is that we cannot understand the virtues of humility and modesty without an equally good understanding of the vices of hubris and conceit. All four attitudes express self-esteem, which flourishes in the soil of achievement. Achievement is valued in any challenging field, be it art, science, sport, entertainment, business, politics, religion, or administration. And it is for this reason alone that achievers are inclined to discuss their excellence or may be forced to discuss it when others inquire about it or remark on it. By these routes achievement and self-esteem surface frequently in the diverse academic and political exchanges that spawn humility/modesty or hubris/conceit.Achievement in a respectable activity can be a wonderful personal milestone bathed in positive emotions, where in the modern world individualism and individuation are widely valued. It may also be wonderful for other people in the achiever’s family, social network, community, or society when they are favorably affected. But in this book, when refracted through three additional analytic lenses – individualism and individuality, big- vs small-picture thinking, and tolerance and compromise – the expression of achievement-based self-esteem takes on some startling new dimensions.
One of them is that, at the hubris/conceit end of the continuum of the expression of self-esteem, discussion risks becoming uncivil, owing to the disagreeable ways that achievement is sometimes conveyed (e.g., boasting, name calling, depreciating others’ related achievements). Moreover, such can turn out to be enormously unproductive. Or as Leo Tolstoy once put it: “Conceit is incompatible with understanding.”

From Humility to Hubris among Scholars and Politicians: Exploring Expressions of Self-Esteem and Achievement (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (16 mai 2017)

Living Alone, Living Together: Two Essays on the Use of Housing (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (12 juin 2017)

par Peter King (Auteur)

This book, from social theorist Peter King, considers how a dwelling can protect and promote both our anxieties and our relationships. Dwelling magnifies our anxieties and allows us to reject the world, yet it is also what we need to form long and lasting relationships.

The first essay considers the one truly private space we have: inside our heads. This is the most intimate place we have, yet we are singularly unable to control it or even to know it. This leads to a discussion on anxiety and depression and how the solitude offered by private space – the head and the home – allows for anxiety to take over an individual. But it is also suggested that it is only through the privacy of a dwelling, and the intimacies that can develop here, that anxiety can be assuaged.

The second essay is based on the premise that our relationships come out of our private dwelling. We need the protected intimacy, the inclusion and exclusion of private dwelling in order to flourish and to grow, and if we are to live together in a fully committed manner we depend on this enclosed and excluding space.

Peter King builds up a new picture of dwelling from first principles. Both essays use a non-traditional literature to explore being alone and being with others, rather than relying on the social science literature, and offer a distinct and original contribution to the housing studies literature.

Peter King is a writer and thinker on housing. He is currently Reader in Social Thought at De Montfort University.

The Economic Decoding of Religious Dogmas: Ranking World Religions in Terms of Economic Consistency (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (8 juin 2017)

par Paul Fudulu (Auteur)

This book proves that each religious dogma, in any of their components, contain in an encoded manner a specific ranking of human comprehensive mega-objectives, implicitly, a specific preference for absolute wealth or, in a more common parlance, for the objective of economic performance. In turn, that specific preference, under ceteris paribus condition, determines the share of believer’s general resources which is channeled to economic performance. An in-depth or correct understanding of a religious dogma, which makes sense for terrestrial social realities, is impossible without a specific model of decoding. Additionally, such a model is simply impossible within an orthodox Western, that is, non-transcultural perspective. There is no accident that all Western efforts to decode religions, economic or non-economic, have failed. Understanding religion based on its face story is very precarious, if not even dangerous.

Genes, Climate, and Consumption Culture: Connecting the Dots (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (31 août 2017)

par Jagdish N. Sheth (Auteur)

Drawing from decades of research, Genes, Climate, and Consumption Culture: Connecting the Dots demonstrates how climate dictates culture and consumption. The author shows that human genes are climatic adaptations over thousands of years of evolution, which has resulted in the dramatic differences between people’s food, clothing, and shelter choices. Most importantly, the book discusses how many of the fundamental differences between cultures, with respect to time, space, friendship, and technology, are responses to their particular climate.

Readers will learn how to challenge their assumptions about what types of products and services foreign markets want. They will learn how to examine local markets vis-à-vis climate and culture, either changing their products accordingly or delivering entirely new offerings.

Talent Management in Practice: An Integrated and Dynamic Approach (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (7 septembre 2017)

par Marian Thunnissen (Auteur) , Eva Gallardo-Gallardo (Auteur)

Talent Management (TM) is an issue of critical importance for today’s senior managers. Employers acknowledge that an engaged, skilled and motivated workforce is key to achieving growth and competitive advantage. Organizations are hiring TM officers and implementing TM strategies and programs to attract and retain the best employees. Yet many organizations still find it difficult to develop a coherent and successful TM approach. Academic research does not give much support in finding the right solutions: despite the enormous expansion of research on the topic, ambiguity about definitions and conceptual boundaries remains. Moreover, there is little knowledge about the nature of TM in practice and how it evolves over time.

Talent Management in Practice offers an integrated and contextualized framework that addresses both the nature of TM in organizations and its ever-changing dynamics. The approach is based, on the one hand, upon lessons learned from previous empirical research on TM, and on the other hand, upon established theoretical frameworks from related academic fields. The result is a unique bridge between theory and TM in practice.

This volume develops a model that can guide TM researchers in their future research, and since it is presented in an accessible and jargon-free format, it provides a touchstone for managers and practitioners as they implement and improve their TM approaches.

Juvenile Delinquency, Crime and Social Marginalization: Social and Political Implications (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (14 septembre 2017)

par Miguel Basto Pereira (Auteur) , Ângela da Costa Maia (Auteur)

This book examines the psychosocial, legal, and familial factors at play in the persistence
in crime and social marginalization in adults with a history of juvenile delinquency,
setting out the political and social implications, and delineating new lines of research.

Presenting, for the first time, a summary of the main findings and conclusions of The
Portuguese Study on Delinquency and Social Marginalization (PSDSM), this study
addresses the following topics: the role of youth psychosocial factors on desistance
from crime during adulthood in individuals with a history of juvenile delinquency;
the relationship between serious adverse childhood experiences (e.g., having lived
with a person with mental illness, physical abuse, emotional neglect) and juvenile
justice involvement, persistence in crime, and psychosocial problems; the mechanisms
involved in the link between serious childhood adversity and delinquency; the role of
the juvenile justice system on psychosocial problems and persistence in crime during
young adulthood; and finally the relation between adult psychosocial problems and
criminal indicators in individuals with official record of juvenile criminal offenses.

Findings from PSDSM have resulted in an extensive list of political and social recommendations for child protection services, justice system, mental health services, schools and universities. This timely title explores these findings and recommendations.

par Catherine Richards Solomon (Auteur)

Family forms in the United States are continuing to evolve. Fathers choosing to stay home to care for their children while their wives work is an emerging trend.

The Globalization of Foreign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe, China, and India (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (31 octobre 2017)

par Adams Bodomo (Auteur)

The 21^st
century era of globalization has opened up many investment alternatives for
Africa. There is now a rush by governments and private companies to
expand in the rapidly growing region, to the extent that we can begin to talk
of a process of world-wide investment. Both traditionally powerful economies in the
West and emerging powers such as China and India have contributed to a vast
proliferation of investment, raising questions of what intense competition will
mean for Africa’s economic development.

The Globalization of
Foreign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe, China, and India compares
the differing approaches between Asian and European players in Africa, with a
particular focus on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the
socio-economic, socio-political, and socio-cultural development of the region.
First documenting the historical context of Western dominance from European
colonial powers, the book follows the paradigm shift that occurred with China’s
21^st century foray into Africa in search of oil and other raw
materials to fuel its own rapidly rising economy. Using an interdisciplinary
approach, the author proposes that Africa will only get maximum benefits from
high-level investment activities if it succeeds in evolving an Africa-driven
foreign investment policy. This strategy presents the best scenario for an
African economic renaissance in the 21^st century.

An important contribution to research on contemporary
Afro-Asian dynamics, this book will be of interest to students and academics of
African Studies, Asian Studies, globalization, and economics, as well as
potential investors and investing agencies.

Fundamental British Values in Education: Radicalisation, National Identity and Britishness (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (30 janvier 2018)

par Lynn Revell (Auteur) , Hazel Bryan (Auteur)

The notion of Britishness and national identity have rarely been examined with such intensity in education and society as they are today. Although the requirement to promote a sense of nationhood in schools is not a new one, the politicised nature of the values associated with Britishness and the security agenda in which schools now operate has intensified greatly in recent years.

This timely book provides a critical analysis of the statutory requirements to promote Fundamental British Values in schools, universities and other childcare groups in the UK. It begins by charting the development of Britishness and British values in the post-war period and highlights how even in the recent past British values have been understood and executed in policy in relation to schools in very different ways. In the past Britishness and national identity was either assumed or conveyed through the employment of cultural forms; it is only now that Britishness in education, in the form of fundamental British values is articulated through explicitly political language.

The book continues by examining the impact of fundamental British values on teacher professionalism. It will show how the legislation and policy that structures the way teachers (and other educators) must engage with fundamental British values works to reposition the status of teachers in the public sphere. Teacher’s work and relationship with the state is recast so that personal political and individual acts are now situated within the remit of state control and legislation. The concept of Liquid Professionalism is promoted as a form of teacher professionalism for these securitised times.

Public Procurement Fundamentals: Lessons from and for the Field (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (5 février 2018)

par Naushad Khan (Auteur)

During the last two decades, public procurement evolved in most of the world but is often carried out by government officials with little or no experience with procurement policies and procedures. As a result, substantial amounts of public funds are lost due to wrong selection of suppliers and contractors. While a large amount of literature exists on public procurement, it deals with different aspects such as commercial, environmental, legal, and technical aspects. In this new work, Khan provides an introduction to procurement and efficiency, bringing together these difficult and complex aspects of public procurement in a clear and succinct manner.

From his experience with the World Bank throughout Central and Eastern Europe, Balkans, Caucuses, and Central and South Asia, Khan has created a step-by-step manual for government officials, researchers, and students.

Generational Career Shifts: How Matures, Boomers, Gen Xers, and Millennials View Work (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (28 février 2018)

par Eddy S. Ng (Auteur) et 2 de plus

Organizations and employers are currently managing an inter-generational workforce, and the most prudent of these are seeking to enhance the careers of new entrants. HRM, careers, and work researchers have begun to explore career-related differences among the four generations of workers currently in employment, but to date there has been very little in the way of full-length comparative studies.

In Generational Career Shifts: How Veterans, Boomers, Xers, and Millennials View Work, Eddy S. Ng, Sean T. Lyons, and Linda Schweitzer develop a timely, wide-ranging examination of inter-generational differences in work priorities, career attitudes, career experiences, and career outcomes. Offering a comprehensive overview of existing research, and drawing upon the authors’ own largescale study of students and knowledge workers, this book documents how careers have fundamentally shifted over the past five decades. Along the way, it offers crucial insights into what these shifts mean for employers and their management strategies.

Generational Career Shifts is essential reading for career researchers, generational researchers, practitioners within executive education, as well as for career counsellors, human resource departments, corporate libraries, and people managers.

Governance of the Smart Mobility Transition (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (13 mars 2018)

par Greg Marsden (Sous la direction de) , Louise Reardon (Sous la direction de)

Rapid changes are underway in mobility systems worldwide, including the introduction of shared mobility solutions, Mobility as a Service and the testing of automated vehicles. These changes are driven by the development and application of ‘smart’ technologies. Transition to these technologies present significant opportunities for countries, cities and rural areas alike, offering the tempting prospect of economic benefit whilst resolving today’s safety, congestion, and pollution problems.

Yet while there is a wealth of research considering how these new technologies may impact on travel behaviour, improve safety and help the environment, there is a dearth of research exploring the key governance questions that the transition to these technologies pose in their disruption of the status quo, and changes to governance that may be required for the achievement of positive social outcomes. This book aims to step into this void and in doing so presents an agenda for future research and policy action.

Bringing together a collection of internationally recognised scholars, drawing on case studies from around the world, authors critically reflect on three primary governance considerations. First, the changing role of the state both during and post-transition. Second, identifying the voices shaping the smart mobility discourse. And third, analysing the implications for the state’s capacity to steer networks and outcomes as a result of these transitions. The authors argue that at present there exists a critical window of opportunity for researchers and practitioners to shape transitions and that this opportunity must be seized upon before it is too late.

Spatial Justice and Informal Settlements: Integral Urban Projects in the Comunas of Medellín (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (13 avril 2018)

par Eva Schwab (Auteur)

Spatial Justice and Informal Settlements: Integral Urban Projects in the Comunas of Medellín links the discourses of informal urbanism and spatial justice in the context of public space-based governmental programmes to upgrade informal settlements in Latin America.

It argues for the importance of combining measures for equity and empowerment with positive recognition, i.e. recognition which is based on valuing the social and material achievements of the settlers as a contribution to urban life and culture in its own right. It presents an inquiry into how public open spaces serve the goal of increasing spatial justice and the quality of life in informal settlements. It provides an in-depth study of the Integral Urban Project (Proyecto Urbano Integral/PUI in Spanish) in Comuna 13, a low-income settlement in Medellín, Colombia. Drawing on extensive fieldwork to understand people’s everyday spaces and socio-spatial practices, the book assesses the design, production, use, and management of some of the public open spaces established under the PUI programme. It thus also offers an account of the diversity of everyday open spaces and landscapes in this informal settlement. This book is a valuable contribution to the field of open spaces in informal settlements and spatial justice, especially for scholars, researchers, and graduate students with an interest in urban development and upgrading and related socio-spatial issues in Latin America.

How Social Science Can Help Us Make Better Choices: Optimal Rationality in Action (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (20 avril 2018)

par Chris Brown (Auteur)

In a world beset with problems, how can we encourage people to act differently? It seems almost daily that new studies emerge telling us how human action is causing planetary degradation, how changes to our diets could lead to us living longer healthier lives, or that financially we are in danger of returning to the debt related crises of the previous decade. At the same time how many of us adjust our behaviour in response to such information?

In this new book Professor Chris Brown explores people’s reactions to Optimal Rational Positions: propositions that set out requirements for change. For example the need to reduce carbon emissions to minimize the impacts of climate change is an Optimal Rational Position; as is the need to engage in 30 minutes of exercise a day, to eat more healthily or to drink less alcohol. It seems obvious that we should want to pursue Optimal Rational Positions because they espouse the types of behaviours that will enable us to live healthier, happier or more productive lives; that can improve the lives and outcomes of others; or that can help us ensure social and environmental sustainability. Yet at the same time we often fail to change our behaviours to those which might be most optimal. Outlining an exciting and innovative route forward, and with real-life case studies from education, How Social Science Can Help Us Make Better Choices provides a new way to think about why people make the choices they make and, vitally, the role social science can play in response.

Return on Investment in Corporate Responsibility: Measuring the Social, Economic, and Environmental Value of Sustainable Business (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (23 avril 2018)

par Cesar Saenz (Auteur)

In today’s climate, companies must be economically successful and at the same time take social responsibility. Author Cesar Sandro Saenz Acosta introduces a new SROIM (Social Return on Investment Management) model, to design and measure the social value created by companies. SROIM is a framework for tracking, understanding, measuring, and reporting the social, economic and environmental value created by a project, a program, or a business. This value creation can be done:

Before the project is initiated

During design and development, to plan for maximum value.

During implementation, so that maximum value can be attained.

During post-analysis, to assess the delivered value against the anticipated value.

Acosta presents a methodological approach that can be replicated throughout an organization, to demonstrate a company’s creation of value through the social return of the investment.

Realignment, Region, and Race: Presidential Leadership and Social Identity (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (30 avril 2018)

par George R. Goethals (Auteur)

The Trump presidency may well be the first phase of a new American political alignment deeply rooted in identity politics. Now more than ever, it seems especially important to understand how leaders compete to engage different human motivations—how presidents, presidential candidates, and other political leaders appeal to potential followers’ needs for economic well-being, safety, self-esteem, and a sense of significance. It is time to come to terms with the roles of race and region in US political history.

In Realignment, Region, and Race, George R. Goethals addresses this challenge head-on, exploring the place of racial dynamics in American politics from Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump. He integrates psychology and historical understandings of presidential leadership and politics to explain the way the politics of racial justice and needs for positive social identity have led to different regions in the United States changing party affiliation. He describes the realignment by region of the two major political parties in the United States, the Democrats and Republicans, between the Civil War and the present day, and he considers how for over a century and a half the two parties have offered different social identities, often related to race, that appeal to powerful motives for self-esteem and significance. Goethals’s findings uncover deep contexts for understanding how current political leaders engage experiences and attitudes towards African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans in order to tell particular stories about American and regional identities.

Realignment, Region, and Race is essential reading for students of politics, history, and psychology, and it is of keen interest to anyone concerned with the power that identity politics has taken on in recent American elections.

Emotional Appeals in Advertising Banking Services (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (1 mai 2018)

par Emmanuel Mogaji (Auteur)

Advertisements are considered as stimuli which consumers will respond to. Banks can develop emotionally appealing advertisements, but they are not guaranteed a positive emotional reaction. The unprecedented turbulence and uncertainty experienced in the banking industry has increased the need to appear more appealing to consumers.Taking into consideration the global financial crisis, the current challenges of competition and open banking, and the looming threat of Brexit, this book explores how UK banks are pulling at consumers’ heart strings with appeals that are often filtered through personal ideologies, life experiences and previous exposure to brands. It investigates consumers’ perception of this strategy, as well as the wider implications of using emotional appeals in financial services advertising.
Based on empirical data and research, this books will prove invaluable to students, researchers and managers alike.

Exploring Australian National Identity: Heroes, Memory and Politics (Emerald Points) (English Edition) (11 juin 2018)

par Jed Donoghue (Auteur) , Bruce Tranter (Auteur)

This book explores the attitudes and values of Australians, analysing how Australian national values are promoted and reflected by heroic figures (both living and dead) who are identified as important and influential.

Who are the ‘heroes, saints and sages’ that exemplify the Australian national character? Who do Australians, as citizens of a settler society, nominate as their contemporary heroes? What is the role of colonial and post-colonial figures regarding contemporary Australian identity? This book reassesses the influence of convicts, bushrangers, Ned Kelly, the ANZACS, sporting heroes, and the nation’s most ‘important people’ in terms of national identity.

Sporting ‘heroes’ such as Don Bradman, and historical figures like Ned Kelly might be expected to feature prominently but the authors identify other nationally important Australians, and gauge how well they symbolize Australian national identity. While collective ‘heroes’ such as the Anzacs are acclaimed in popular conceptions of national identity, Australians also identify with particular ‘heroic’ individuals who personify practical aspects of the national character and ‘mythscape’, including well known federal politicians, surgeons and scientists.
